There is a show happening tonight at Black Sheep! We don’t have any shows this upcoming Friday or Saturday so let’s come out and make sure this is a good one. For this show we have Rochester melodic hardcore band Until We Are Ghosts returning to Black Sheep for the second time this year. You can stream some of their music on the player below. We also have the local screamo/hardcore band WARRS going on before that and causing chaos on the stage. Touring with Until We Are Ghosts is another act called “Threads.” Threads are from Martinsburg, West Virginia and play emo/hardcore. Earlier on we have Vacant Skies from around the area playing metalcore, and opening things up is a solo set from Nick Harlow of the band Loses The Mighty.

Springfield rock group Epsom have released their new LP, Ah, Youth! up for streaming online. The album was released earlier this month on vinyl LP. You can stream the whole album on the player below, or head over to the band’s bandcamp page where you can pay to download the whole album or look into ordering the physical copy.

Check out a lyric video for Epsom’s song off of the album- “Damn & Blast” right here. It looks like Epsom do not have any shows currently lined up, but we will be sure to keep you updated as soon as they do.

Today we bring you new music from Springfield solo ambient electronic project Slacker Tapehead. Slacker Tapehead is 5 tracks of improvised electronic music recorded on a Fostex X-28 multitracker by Eric Rogers of The Luhzin Defense. The result is a very spacious and experimental collection of synths, guitars, vocals and other sounds that will appeal to fans of experimental music and post-rock.

Slacker Tapehead’s debut is available for streaming and download now on Bandcamp with a cassette release to follow. No live shows are scheduled for Slacker Tapehead right now, but keep your eyes and ears peeled!
